Thanks! Great blogs!
I would like your opinion on something. I already have Skype with SkypeOut, SkypeIn and a phone number. Since I am already paying for this, and it works well, and there is a Skype client for the N810, is there any reason to use Gizmo5?
I have a Google Voice account set up and I have my Skype number added to it.
Can I do all the same things you discuss on your blog, but with Skype and GV?
I have not started using GV yet. I would appreciate your thoughts on the best way to go. (I did sign up for Gizmo5, but so far I can't see how it has any advantages over Skype. Am I missing something (besides the fact that I could save a few bucks)?
Thanks.
EDIT:
The tutorial on your blog allowed me to get everything set up and working. One question:
I do not understand the ramifications of the “Callback Number” in DialCentral. Does it make a difference if I use my cell phone or my landline? What about using my SkypeIn number here?
Also, in GV, I had to verify about 20 times before the verification process worked (i.e., before the call came in to my N810). And then I had to do it all over again because I didn't know how to find the dial pad the first time (but your tutorial explained it well, so I got it working).
